The Humboldt County Civil Grand jury recommends that the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department create and initiate a formal process of communication with law enforcement agencies in Humboldt County regarding any and all changes to the booking process of the Humboldt County Correctional Facility. The Fortuna Police Department disagrees with this recommendation as we feel that we have a very good process in place that allows for communication between our agency and the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office. As Chief, I attend the Law Enforcement Chief's Association Humboldt (LECAH) meetings once a momh, where I meet personally with the Sheriff, Under Sheriff or his designee. We have discussed in detail the guidelines of the HCCF booking process and I have brought that information back to the FPD and communicated to staff. I also frequently communicate with command staff at the Humbold! County Sheriff's Office via email and have found that the HCSO is very responsive to any questions or comments I have regarding issues such as the booking process.

The Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury recommends that the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department, in collaboration with local law enforcement agencies, develop a new holding form that arresting officers can use to ensure that felons who should not be released will not be released. The Fortuna Police Department disagrees with this recommendation as we feel that there is already a procedure in place that addresses this recommendation, with the Request for Non- Release form that is completed by the arresting officer and is available at the HCCF.
